bug fixes 2/5

By jairaman12

please fix the bug with scrolling a train schedule and stops

Great app 5/5

By new to the Metra

Great help when riding

Sold out 1/5

By West219

Terrible

On time?? 2/5

By Jchamp06

Hilarious that they call this app “on time” since Metra seldom is. I also don’t get the point of this app. In my experience it never shows arrivals in real time — meaning it never shows the delays. This app is pretty pointless.

Useless 1/5

By UOFMGRL

This is the worst app ever - there is no relevant information on it besides the printed schedule. No information on delays, no information on actual travel times.

Easy when you know how 5/5

By Duerkie Jr.

It’s a bit nonintuitive, but, once you figure it out it’s great

1 star since update 2 days ago 1/5

By Mary Ann's iPhone

Not sure they are aware...since update 2 days ago the app crashes EVERY time when it asks me if I’m on the train and I select “yes” instead of “cancel.” Would have given this 4stars before.
PLEASE fix whatever happened and I’ll come back for an improved rating.

Doesn't Work 1/5

By 15_Con

Cannot select an "agency" so no longer can use the app for the only function I needed it for, checking train schedules.
Will be deleting now.

Won’t Load 1/5

By Redheadedme1950

I was forced to accept the upgrade and now it’s a continuous loop trying to load the new schedule.

New version has click ads and doesn’t work as well as it used to 2/5

By Abmaven

Just upgraded and now have advertising all over and the app doesn’t want to show me where we are on the ride. I used to use it often; now strongly wish I hadn’t loaded the new version.

Doesn’t work 1/5

By Bullsfan

I’ve tried to get this to function, but all I get is a spinning wheel. If I’d have wanted that, I’d listen to Blood, Sweat and Tears! Total crap!

App crashing 2/5

By Killbaski

Hi, I keep getting a spinning gear when I try to select a default agency. Have uninstalled and reloaded app but it’s not working.

Select an agency? 1/5

By Ewsad

App killer

Nope 1/5

By Emmanutter

App is pointless. Only shows me PM schedules even with changing times.

Selected Agency??!? 1/5

By uglib3467

What the bloody hell does this mean? All I want to do is find out the Metra schedule. Is that so hard to do now????

Something is totally screwed up 1/5

By JRHami

An awesome app that just went terribly wrong. Opens to some bizarre screen that wants "agency" "home station" and takes no input. I deleted and reinstalled but no success this app is now broken

Very useful 4/5

By LaVonne Marie

Use it every day

Great app. One comment 4/5

By Termage

Love the new look. I use this app every day. When selecting a station on a different route from the two currently selected, just clear out the second selection (maybe replace with a placeholder) and don't show any results. Showing a user-blocking error AND showing all routes from the new station (so confusing) is the worst option.

Awful! 1/5

By sassygrrl31

Spams my phone over and over again with messages that are old and don't even fall with in my notification window. Like 25+ messages in 2 hours about a train I don't care about. Support provides ineffective solutions. Deleted the app.

Love it! 5/5

By FSvo2

OK ... what's your alternatives?

Didn't work 1/5

By geoiron

Did not have schedule, so it said. Really you don't have BNSF into Union Station?

Frequent errors 2/5

By Reddy Kilowatt

Every 2-3 times that I open the app, I get an error saying that there is no connection between the stops that I commute 40x/month.

Bad app 1/5

By andamovie

Wife left me as soon as I downloaded app. Would not recommend.

Easy to use! 5/5

By NicolasFM

Simple purpose, focused on that purpose, does the job great!

Works well 5/5

By cmslapis

It shows me train times easily, including returns. Can't ask for more. Thanks for the free app!

Good 4/5

By Yh14680976

Very good

Really good 5/5

By Elifry

More features would be cool, but that's just icing on top.

Great app 5/5

By Wall Street Warrior

Works Great. I love it. Saves me a lot of time. Easy to use.

Definitely Best Metra Schedule - One Minor Flaw 4/5

By Matt's Mac Mini

Absolutely fantastic app, huge time saver keeps you onTime, but one issue. They need to add a designator to show which trains are express as express trains often leave from different tracks. Premium version well worth it.

Good App 5/5

By logginschris1

Convenient

Saves you time which saves us all Money. 5/5

By EddieBlog

I'm not stating that the application is perfect. The app is user friendly and quite self explanatory but the design doesn't really fit in with the Other apps in the iOS store.
Overall it does what it promises and truly gets you up to date information on lines.
THE REST IS UP TO YOU. SO STOP READING THIS AND CATCH THAT TRAIN.
:)

Almost 2/5

By Fan of Research

App is easy to navigate but has a major information design flaw. Metra uses train numbers to identify the trains and the app only uses station times. This should be fixed asap. Passengers don't know what train the app is referring to during service disruption. Which happens often and is most critical at that point.

Love It! 5/5

By gbustos_goalie

App is extremely useful and accurate. I just dislike that it feels like this app always asked me to download a totally different version. Why?

Great app! 4/5

By mcat23

Surprised on the negative reviews but it has worked for me since downloading a couple months ago. This app is great especially showing how much time remaining. Only flaw is the 12:40 am train doesn't show (since its probably next day) but otherwise perfect.

Won't load schedule 1/5

By NoMoreNamesToday

Used this app for years and In the last six months it has been terrible and stoped working
It locks up all the time and won't load the new schedule
Alerts never work so don't trust them
We need to go find a better app... still looking
I finally deleted it from my phone. I give up!

Poor operation 1/5

By Komalley22

Schedules never load.

Deleting Favorite Pairs 2/5

By $$ rate guy

When trying to delete old favorite pairs the app barfs and closes down

No station 1/5

By Klutter42

Nice going. I updated the app and now my station is missing. Dropping immediately

Default to OTC? 3/5

By iAMmeStyle

Why it's always default to OTC on one of my devices?

Crashes 2/5

By K.06sjav.57

Crashes every time I open it and there's no update.

Great app !! 5/5

By AligatorKungFu

Really nice to have. Easy to use.

Excellent App 4/5

By Rollie_Pollie_Ollie

Gives you an accurate time of when the trains arrive. I take the train into the city everyday for work and I rely heavily on this app and it has not once let me down. If only it gave you an update for any train delays then I could give it 5 stars.

Never works correctly 1/5

By vonhots

Every time I try to use the app it replaces my destination station to OTC and then it takes a long time to get it reset.

What happened 1/5

Doesn't work 1/5

Constantly posts error message. It worked well before the last update.

Stopped working 2/5

By Raw mom

This app worked 3mons. Now it shows the 55-56-57 station cannot be found. I don't use it everyday as I once did but that should not be a reason not to find the station. Please fix this problem

Recent update failure 1/5

By david.arndt

After using this the last few months, this app stopped loading. It opens. In the background it shows what I had opened the last time it correctly opened, but it crashes as soon as it opens. I bought the pay version thinking that they stopped updating the free, but that has the same problem.

North shore chicago Commuter rating 3/5

By Commuter on the go

When it works it is great. When it doesn't it is useless and better to have a crumpled paper schedule.
Hard to switch preferred route if it gets set. Had to wipe out and reload to designate a different starting point.
Freezes at times. Again a great asset.
Also why say on aNew York Minute "verses "Chicago Express"!
